Dying breeds have been a common thing over the years. Way back in the 50s it was work to drive a truck. They all had big steering wheels because they had to be. Twin screws were not all that common. Cabovers were in vogue in the 60s and 70s. Dad's last truck was a rough riding Emeryville but most of his early driving was done in Farmall's, 180s and 190s. His back ended his driving career. They never made a Bostrom seat that could tame those bucking broncs. Not many sliding tandems back then and the standard trailers usually had them mounted all the way to the rear especially with twin screws pulling them. The cabovers disappeared and the ant eaters came along. Then the fairings, power steering, auto trans and air ride suspensions. The truckers back then were a different breed for sure. Imagine no interstates, fifty MPH was "making good time", shifting at every little hill and muscling that stiff steering around the tight city streets that popped up every ten miles. And when it got cold, the drafty cabs and anemic heaters could barely keep the frost off the windshield. Ice scrappers were an accessory kept close at hand and you tried hard to breath down to keep the windshield from frosting over. And for sure no cozy sleepers. If you did have one, you froze to death if you were dumb enough to try on a cold winter night. I would say "First Class" is exactly in the right time frame. Pretty enough to turn heads and modern enough to get the job done comfortably. That makes you and that truck both first class and a dying breed for sure. Which is why we anxiously wait for your next video.
I had a neighbor that was basically like a grandfather to me. Anyway he was always telling me stories from when he was driving back in the day. He mentioned about a GMC truck and a White truck. when he was driving the trucks didn't have sleepers, he said when he got tired he would pull over and sleep on the the floor ,his truck only had a driver's seat. I'm pretty sure he was driving from at least the 1950's but he was probably driving before that.
Don't forget the brownie transmissions. In the mid '90's a ready mix plant I did repair work for had an old yard truck with one. The shop ended up putting the brownie in second gear, then cut the shifter off flush at the floor because the drivers had nothing but trouble trying to drive a truck with two sticks.
10:16 we had a browned in our 61 Pete cabover. It had a sleeper. And Eton 9-13z loved that truck. Hauled many load on it. Had a 220 Cummings.Slow on going I a hill but great on the straight away. Had her till we bought a CMC Astro with 8V-71 Detroit. Big Mamma could move.Thise were the days.
I've been driving trucks 41 years 27 years in the Union 14 years over the road and local when I get over the road I had a bigger fire extinguish I also had a smoke alarm in the truck and carbon dioxide detector every time I went to sleep I left the truck running but I would leave the vents open on the back by the sleeper or leave the window cracked in every truck I drove over the road I always make sure I had a back door in the sleeper where I can get out in case of a fire but like I said I invested in a smoke alarm and carbon dioxide detector
@@1208bug Hey that's cool. I find his videos take my stress away for a while when watching Kurt's videos. Kinda weird without Opie in the truck. Lol Fine German
@@charlesbutler8057 You know , that would be easier for me to explain to my wife. I mean , trucking with Schmidt , Dog calendar , rather than , Trucking with Schmidt , then there all 6 '5 of some big trucker dude. Just saying. Lol 😂
OK I i’m saying this with extreme kindness. If you want to sell more calendars, please ask the wife ,warden if you can put her helping you on that hood on one of the months, I think it would increase sales. Love your videos😂 😂😂😂
All these fancy new trucks sitting in a row and then there's....FIRST CLASS! She's sits there so proud she puts the rest to shame. Long live First Class!
You'll get it back together just got to get back into routine always enjoy when you post the adventures you go through down to earth family man just stay safe and you'll get it back eventually lol thanks again for posting Kurt have safe travels
I know that you can get velcro patches that have the sticky stuff on it. At least you don't have to drill any holes in the cab of the truck. Good video. Safe trucking.
They also make command strips for pictures and plaques, but they do need a consistent temp, I think. And it's fine that Opie wants to stay home. Another era begins, even if we do miss him.
Here is something that may work to hang your picture, will hold up to 8 lbs........Wreath Hangers for Front Door (White - 1 Pack) - Damage Free Hanging - ZIPNHANG: Adjustable Door Hanger. Christmas Wreath & Decor Hanger for Front Door. Hooks. Hope this works, Diane
I sold my Pete 379 exhd in 2004 and bought a 2000 FLD 120 with a 70 in. midroof sleeper 12.7 430 horse Detroit gained a full 1 mpg and dropped 1800 lbs off the empty weight that was huge because we were paid by the hundred weight, occasionally the only load available was over 50,000 lbs. so the ability to legally scale that much weight got me loads that I had been missing.
3M dual lock is a great stickum that will not fail. I’ve had a wireless thermometer taped to the shed window for 6 years now. It has withstood 118* summer temps down here south of Phoenix. We are originally for Sioux Falls , SD. Worked on occasion at War Eagle microwave tower in Sioux City.
Use magnets. Get some strong magnets. Glue with a strong super glue on the back side of the picture and on the inside of the cabinet door. Then hold the picture to the door. The magnets will hold. That's how I hold my wood plaque and my coat hook up in my 99 XL classic. Has worked for me for almost 6yrs now with ZERO issues. Just use strong magnets and good quality glue.
Love the long hood trucks. Thanks for the awesome video. I love seeing Iowa and the countryside. I know you sent me a link a long time ago to chat. I was from Iowa back in the 90s till I joined the service. Located in NC now. I grew up in Avoca. Love all your videos. Thank you. Chat with you sometime soon.
I liked the way you "helped" your helper up into the hood! I enjoyed your farming videos but glad you back on the road. Man, I hope you can get that back fixed!
You are spot on about not burning your truck my insurance covered ours but had pay to get the clean up done joys of trucks most important was walking away tho
Kurt get you some outdoor rated 3m twosided sticky tape. It'll be a grey color. Use a alcohol wipe to clean where your gonna stick it , on the picture and the wall in the truck. I would try it before i put screws in the wall. Its worth a try
Ha! "You're not helping me worth s***!" Lmao!! Oh mylanta!!! 😂 Sounds like some of my conversations with my husband! Opie doesn't want to go on a cheeseburger run!? Did he forget about the cheeseburger?
Velcro with the sticky tape on the back. I was in that truck stop in my 98 W9 and a reefer came through trying to sell left over 50 pound boxes of frozen chicken wings for $5.00 each. Man, I racked my brain trying to think of a way to keep them. I pulled lowboy, so had a grill on my upper deck but just filled my freezer fridge at Fairway Mkt. in Ankeny with butterfly pork chops, ribeye and their incredible Dutch Apple Brats. Just couldn't find a solution.
I senes a sadness in your voice re opey not being with you he has been such a huge part of your life know for so many years and yes you did make sure he had the best of every thing and stopped in all the best areas so he had grass and clean places to get out and exercise. Like you sooner or later your time will come as well and you will be filled with sadness then as you are know but loook at it this way you will be home with your beloved Opey and spend the rest of your days enjoying each other again. Just the simple fact he is not there for company is some thing you would miss he is your Mate as well. Aussie BOB and we miss him as well. Keep trucking untill the last wheel cant turn any more.
Make sure you test out that buddy heater before you need it. I let a couple of mine sit over the summer and I guess the propane oil clogged up the lines in it. Had to take it apart and blow it out. Don't want to have to try and figure that out when you are freezing!
likes here glad your back up prayers for you and your loved ones kk stay safe. if possible find a push bar just a simple cheap kind for the front it could save the rad from an antelope or more.
Hey Schmidt , the harvest videos were cool. I reckon your back to trucking. That's cool. Good idea on that fire extinguisher. One day you may need it or you may ride up on someone that does. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Kurt for the great video's. On your quest to hang up the laser etched picture in the truck, I've used some 3M Command Damage Free Hanging strips. They really work great when you clean the surface off with alcohol and let that flash off before adhering them to the surface. I used them at home to hang up some award certificates. And they do hold up to 6 pounds.
You should turn those lights on front of bumper in to running lights and outside ones signals.....think it'd be a nice flow with the clearance lights atop sleeper....justa thought
Get a 12 volt electric heating pad for bunk, keeps you warm no fuel. As long as truck starts in real cold weather. Will not pull batteries down in 8 or 9 hours. Best of all cheap.
Get you some 3M double sided tape. Yup were Old School and a dying breed, but we will be that way until we die, or the Gov. forces our Antiques off the road. Love Your Videos. Opie is a Smarter than even you thought. Tom
3M has some Velcro hook and loops for hanging different things if you want to try them or they also have some strips called command it's removable and it doesn't leave any residue on the surface
industrial velcro is your friend for nearly any picture or to secure things in place. a bit of super glue on the velcro will hold it forever. Thats how I kept my bobble heads in my car on the rear dash. Took a lot to get the velcro off after 3 years.
First thing I want to say, I love the hat with First Class on it. Is it offered in the merch store? I wear hats all through winter as my head gets cold. Opie has the right idea of it being cold. Here in eastern Washington State, we've been cold in the 30's during the day. Lots of low clouds and fog.
I love your videos Mr Kurt I look forward into watching them everyday honestly 😂please continue to be safe out there and what’s the length of your shift extension?
hi i absolutely loved this video its sad to hear that some of the older trucks are getting retired from a British persons pov i dont notice it obviously because im over the pond but i do love the oldschool long nose trucks because they are what i think of when i think of american truck great video i will defo try to be more active as i loved this video
That was so funny with your lovely wife up in the hood and you just saying let me get a photo the rear end in the blue jeans was tops she done a great job there
I am in California, but back in the day when Leland James was building his trucks(precursor to FREIGHTLINER), they ran the exhaust system through the fuel tank to keep the fuel from gelling, why was that practice not improved upon and fine tuned for modern day? Seems like everything has just become hi-tech, the simple stuff is just tossed to the side lines.
It is hard watching your dog get older. I have a 16 year old that is deaf and stove up some. Yea it’s hard I wondered if you ever tried airing your seat up a little or if you would rather enjoy the pain. It might help you know. I’m glad to set you doing better though Havagudun and stay safe friend.

How many drivers today do you think know what a twin screw is 😂😂 and back then no air dryer it was a fuseie 😂
Don't forget the brownie transmissions. In the mid '90's a ready mix plant I did repair work for had an old yard truck with one. The shop ended up putting the brownie in second gear, then cut the shifter off flush at the floor because the drivers had nothing but trouble trying to drive a truck with two sticks.
10:16 we had a browned in our 61 Pete cabover. It had a sleeper. And Eton 9-13z loved that truck. Hauled many load on it. Had a 220 Cummings.Slow on going I a hill but great on the straight away. Had her till we bought a CMC Astro with 8V-71 Detroit. Big Mamma could move.Thise were the days.
Should say brownie
If you’re using a propane heater in the cab, a CO monitor with an alarm is a must! Get a doggie sweater for Opie…
@@jimbates955 Agreed !
I was going to say the same thing. Many campers, ice fishermen, etc. have perished due to CO and/or oxygen depletion. Stay safe, pal.
I've been driving trucks 41 years 27 years in the Union 14 years over the road and local when I get over the road I had a bigger fire extinguish I also had a smoke alarm in the truck and carbon dioxide detector every time I went to sleep I left the truck running but I would leave the vents open on the back by the sleeper or leave the window cracked in every truck I drove over the road I always make sure I had a back door in the sleeper where I can get out in case of a fire but like I said I invested in a smoke alarm and carbon dioxide detector

Maybe not aerodynamic, but it's paid for and looks cool.
3m tape will work on wood art. You have to look at packing tape it's rated for temperature changes then get some velcro strip.
You'll get it back together just got to get back into routine always enjoy when you post the adventures you go through down to earth family man just stay safe and you'll get it back eventually lol thanks again for posting Kurt have safe travels
Maybe you can glue some small magnets on your plaque and on the door to hold it.
I know that you can get velcro patches that have the sticky stuff on it. At least you don't have to drill any holes in the cab of the truck. Good video. Safe trucking.
They also make command strips for pictures and plaques, but they do need a consistent temp, I think. And it's fine that Opie wants to stay home. Another era begins, even if we do miss him.
Hi there. Great vlog. Short & sweet. We will miss Opie truckin with you as much as you will. He is a good doggie boy.❤
Here is something that may work to hang your picture, will hold up to 8 lbs........Wreath Hangers for Front Door (White - 1 Pack) - Damage Free Hanging - ZIPNHANG: Adjustable Door Hanger. Christmas Wreath & Decor Hanger for Front Door. Hooks.
Hope this works, Diane
The commercial velcro strips will be more than adequate to hold your picture up. I use them throughout my rv and never had a problem with them.
I decided to use 2 sided tape. It's holding so far Carl. I definitely will use the Velcro next
Heavy duty Velcro would work for hanging the plaque up. Tyvm for sharing your trucking and family videos.
I sold my Pete 379 exhd in 2004 and bought a 2000 FLD 120 with a 70 in. midroof sleeper 12.7 430 horse Detroit gained a full 1 mpg and dropped 1800 lbs off the empty weight that was huge because we were paid by the hundred weight, occasionally the only load available was over 50,000 lbs. so the ability to legally scale that much weight got me loads that I had been missing.
@@jda72 Good deal.
Buy a green spy save on fuel and if you battery drain on main engine. It could charge your batteries up to get turned over.
Also look for Diesel 911 fuel additive for when you need a little more insurance than the standard anti gel. Take care. Todd the retired trucker.
I've used that in the past

Good idea with the propane heater. Opie was just cold. No transition this year, mild weather right into very cold.
My new favourite saying is "It is what it is". Say it every single day at work! Haha.
3m makes an extreme double sided mounting tape. It works great and should get the job done.
Can't wait for the calendar and it is sad u dnt see as many of those kind trucks anymore they are so iconic in the trucking world
Should be coming out soon Brett
@@truckingwithschmidt7120 They are out Kurt I just ordered one thanks Uber Dad
Great video Kurt. Enjoyed the quiet ride with you. Give Opie some extra hugs and kisses..❤❤
Use magnets.
Get some strong magnets. Glue with a strong super glue on the back side of the picture and on the inside of the cabinet door.
Then hold the picture to the door. The magnets will hold. That's how I hold my wood plaque and my coat hook up in my 99 XL classic.

Use 3M removable picture hanging tabs, the industrial duty ones, to hang the plaque on the wall. Or the 3M industrial velcro. Both are removable.

Stay warm and stay safe awesome video.
Velcro straps will help with that frame for sure
@@Knuckles5140 Great idea 💡
Kurt get you some outdoor rated 3m twosided sticky tape. It'll be a grey color. Use a alcohol wipe to clean where your gonna stick it , on the picture and the wall in the truck. I would try it before i put screws in the wall. Its worth a try
There aren't too many wives that would do that buddy! You got a good one there for sure! Stay safe out there!
Priceless
I used FTTP total Power fuel additive when trucking.Never😢 had it gel up in the winter when i used that
Ha! "You're not helping me worth s***!" Lmao!! Oh mylanta!!! 😂 Sounds like some of my conversations with my husband!
Opie doesn't want to go on a cheeseburger run!? Did he forget about the cheeseburger?
If you use 3M body side molding tape it will never fall off! (Your plaque) Just be sure you have it where you want it before pressing it to the wall.
Regarding hanging up that plaque, try velcrow? A piece of Velcro on all 4 corners.
So glad you are back doing highway!
Well there may not be many ,but yours is still the best looking truck . A real truck
Stay worm buddy and be safe out there 🙏
Velcro straps. They sell them in 6 inch strips. 3 in a pack.
